Rare Six Well UPW Oyster Plate

This is the rarest of the oyster plate which was made by the Union Porcelain Works around 1881. It is nicely shaped and modeled with seaweed and shells as well as some creatures in relief with a gold trim to the edge abd two shells. I especially like the frog and the crab :) This size and shape is the hardest to find and the most valuable. These are highly collectible and really quite nice. American porcelain after all is much less common than its European counterparts. The plate has six wells for oysters as well as one shell for the sauce. The plate is in perfect condition with a tiny bit of wear. It is about 1.375 inches tall, 10.25 inches wide and 7.875 inches deep. It is marked as shown on the underside with the U.P.W. over the eagle's head in black with PAT. JAN. 4-1881 over it. There is also a partial yellow mark which states Union Porcelain Works and normally would also say Greenpoint N.Y. but that part is missing. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
